At 1236 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking strong thunderstorms

capable of producing waterspouts over marine areas along a line

extending from near Myrtle Grove to near Pointe A La Hache. Movement

was northwest at 30 mph.



HAZARD...Waterspouts and winds in excess of 40 mph.



SOURCE...Radar indicated.



IMPACT...Waterspouts can easily overturn boats and create locally 

         hazardous waters. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs 

         and blow around unsecured objects.



Locations impacted include...

Jean Lafitte, Myrtle Grove, Lafitte, Port Sulphur, Barataria, and

Pointe A La Hache.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. 



Torrential rainfall is also occurring with these storms and may lead

to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded

roadways.



If on or near marine areas, get out of the water and move indoors or

inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles from

the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close

enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be

caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
